Shoulder to Shoulder. Sharpened by Truth. Sent with Purpose.

What to Expect

Our mission is to gather men shoulder to shoulder—strong, humble, and committed to living as Christ calls us to live. God made it clear that it is not good for man to walk alone, and we believe brotherhood and accountability are essential to becoming the men we are meant to be. From the jobsite to the home, from the field to the church, we sharpen one another through honesty, discipline, and encouragement.

This is a place where men are welcomed as they are, but not left where they are. We pursue growth, responsibility, and lasting change rooted in truth. We are imperfect men who rely on the strength of Jesus Christ to restore us, shape us, and send us out with purpose. Together, we stand firm, lead well, and answer the call to make disciples—boldly, faithfully, and in love.
